Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 Wireless Color All-in-One Supertank Printer

Fast and easy to use
I'm really impressed with Epson-EcoTank Printer! It's the best printer that I have ever used. I love the speed, print quality and ease of use. The set-up was very simple and fast. The included instructions walked me through each step perfectly. I have never used a refillable ink printer and really like how simple the compartments were to fill. There was no mess and the bottles stop filling when the tank has reached the max amount. I think the longest part of the whole process of setting the printer was waiting for the ink to charge. It was great. They also give you two bottles of each color ink to fully fill up each reservoir with some spare ink left over for future use. I like how you can see the amount of ink that is left from the outside of the printer and how the number used for ordering is located right by where you fill the ink for easy reordering. Printing is fast and easy. I downloaded the Epson iPrint on my phone and have printed out several items and I have had no issues. I appreciate the simplicity of being able to print directly from my phone. My previous wireless printer would sometimes give me problems. I would have to take the extra time to print from my desktop. My children have also printed several items from their Chromebook for school and they love how easy it is. They also love how the tray slides out automatically when the printer starts printing. I like the two-sided printing. It creates less waste and is more efficient. I'm happy how quickly items print. It's very fast even on color detailed pictures. The print quality is amazing. I am definitely going to be printing out my pictures from home from now on. I really like the 4.3" touchscreen. It's very responsive to touch and there several settings and maintenance option that can be accessed from the screen.You can also see the Job status including completed tasks with time and dates. There are a ton of options and things that can be done just from the printer touchscreen. I think what I'm most excited about is the refillable ink! It's so annoying when one color from a cartridge is out and the whole set needs to be replaced. It gets very expensive over time and it seems very wasteful. The bottles to fill the tanks for this printer are very reasonably priced and last a long time. “This is a review for the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 Supertank Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”

Awesome All-in-One
The Epson ET-5850 is a great All-in-one printer. It is on the big side and is pretty heavy so I would have someone who can lift and help take it out of the box put it where you would like it to go. After you take it out of the box you can start setting it up by taking off the blue tape that comes on it. The blue tape has little tabs on the ends for easy pull-off. After that you put the ink in. I found this to be very fun and relaxing. This is the first printer that I ever got that has a different type of ink. They come in bottles instead of those ink cartridges that to me are pretty hard to use but these make it very easy. The printer came with the two sets of ink. You will use the first ones when you prime it up. You will also partly use the second ones to refill and top it off. The ink should last a year and a half or so but that would all depend on how much you use it. They each have individual numbers and keys on the top of the bottles, so you know where to put each color. To me it also saves from a lot of unnecessary cartridge fills. It comes with a driver’s DVD but you can also just download them from your computer. It comes with easy and clear instructions on how to set it up. It has a good size touchscreen in the front that is easy to navigate through all the different settings. It does however take a while to get it all set-up due to having to pour in the ink and set the paper. There are numerous options to look at for your needs. This printer has everything a home office and a household would need. It comes with the printer, scanner, fax, and a copier all-in-one. It is meant for big jobs and to print out a lot of paper. I have taken several photos one in full color and one in black and white, I like that the printer has easy access to paper size, it can print envelope size to letter size and has three different areas to print from which in all holds 500 pieces of paper. There is a rear paper cartridge and two front ones that give you a lot of options to choose what you would like to get printed and what size. I printed out several things for my home office including full size book projects, a bunch of photos, and several game and puzzle magazines for my kid and myself. I also copied several important documents and I like the fact that it can also copy both sides which saves me paper because I use it a lot. You can scan from the printer to your cloud, email, and computer. I love that it prints very fast even when it prints double sided. I love everything about this printer.

The Epson ET-5850 is a beast!
Gone are the days when setting up a printer was a chore…unbox this printer follow the 1 sheet setup guide and go. I think it took between 5-10 minutes to be up and printing. It found my network and all of my devices were able to find the printer and start using it. A nice change over older eco-tank printers are these refill bottles are designed to only fit in the correct color, eliminating mistakes and any spillage. The display touch screen is large, bright and responsive. It comes with 2 complete sets of ink…which says it is enough for 7500 B&W prints! The printer itself holds over 500 sheets of paper as well as having a rear feed and scanner feed. The tray where final prints comes out is also mechanical…It comes out automatically with a print job….while not necessary is a nice feature. Also this printer is fast! No warm up time and finished prints are out and dry very quickly. You should know this is a BIG printer! Make sure you have a place in your home or office for it.

Great for the small business owner!
As a small business owner, I’m a bit of a “Jill of all trades.” The main part of my small business is design, but I also do a lot of brochures, flyers, and curriculum planning as a leader of a local non-profit group. Being a “Jill of all trades,” I needed a printer that could keep up with my demands. The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 is the work-horse that I need! Set-up was very easy. There are easy to follow instructions that tell you every step to take in order to get your printer up and running. This was my first experience filling ink reservoirs with containers of ink, and I must say I am very impressed. The biggest advantage to me is the sustainability...no more shipping my old toner cartridges to be recycled. Filling the tanks with the ink as I need them eliminates cartridge waste. The other advantage of filling my ink reservoirs as I need them is the cost savings. I go through a lot of ink and paper, and I need something that can keep up with me! Being able to see exactly how much ink I have in the reservoirs is great; no more “oops I’m out of ink” surprises! The touch-screen is very easy to navigate. I can easily troubleshoot and get to where I need in the menu. I needed to do a cleaning on the printer heads (there was a bit of bleeding of the ink), and I was able to easily navigate my way to that part of the menu (and easily resolve the bleeding ink problem). The detail in the print-outs are great. I did a few test prints of some brochures and old vintage graphic art, and I was very impressed. I plan to do some more prints of the vintage art on higher quality paper, and frame them. They will look great in my home office! The two-sided copying is impressive and time-saving. I do a lot of copying when setting up curriculum for my non-profit, and being able to set the papers in and walk away after starting the copying process is great. It saves a lot of time and paper. The print speed is lightning fast. My papers are printed before I stand up from the computer to grab them off the printer, and I’m only two steps away! This printer is very user-friendly, and an excellent time saver. The cost savings and sustainability are big bonuses to me as well. I highly recommend the EcoTank Pro ET-5850 to anyone in need of an all-in-one printer.

Perfect for small business that print a lot
I have been a long Epson user both home and work. I've have a Workforce 845 at home, a small inkjet at work and an Epson 9890 wide format at work. This ET-5850 will replace the small unit I have at work. Wanted a dual tray MFP and was intrigued by the EcoTank. The one reason I switched to Epson printers many years ago was the fact that you could replace individual inks when one ran out, not the whole cartridge. EcoTank looks to be a step beyond individual cartridges. Unpacking the unit, careful it is heavy, was straightforward. Setting up the unit for the first time was easy and quick. The power cord is long and has the "mickey mouse" plug at the printer instead of the typical IEC end. Not a big deal. Power-up then asks you to fill the tanks. The touch screen is nice and bright, adjustable angle and responsive. It walks you through the whole process. Once all tanks are filled (it comes with 2 bottles of each color) it starts to prime the unit. You can see the level of each ink on the outside front of the unit. First fill gets it almost to the top line. Then it starts to prime, once done it goes down quite a bit, but I know there is a full bottle in there. The prime process takes about 9 min, during that time I downloaded all the software on my PC. Mostly updates to the programs I already use. Once unit is done priming, I setup the wireless portion. Quick and easy. Found both 2.4 and 5ghz SSIDs in the house and connected and found a firmware update. Once the software was up and found the printer, it also found the firmware and I pushed it from the computer. Took some time to reboot, but painless. Now the test print. Windows found the printer and sent the test page. Started immediately. To my surprise the output tray gets pushed out to catch the prints automatically! Cool feature. Print was very fine text and bright color, even on plain paper. I had just plain LTR paper loaded into tray one. Nothing in tray 2. I then puled out my Android phone and printed a PDF I had on there. Epson iPrint was able to find the printer and printed easily, just like I expected. With the current quarantine from covid19 I wont have this in the office for a few weeks, but using it at home till I can get there. So far scanning and printing have gone as expected. I feel like this is an excellent example of Epson printer tech that will continue to work for a long time. I think the EcoTank will keep the costs down in the long run as compared to individual cartridges. “This is a review for the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 Supertank Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.”
